I always end up writing lead characters who have an unwavering code of honor. Sometimes I write them stupid or naive, sometimes they're assholes, but there's always that uncompromising hard core. I just like characters with extremely strong self-imposed rules. Every character I make that I wan to be worth something has this.

They're not necessarily moral as in honorable and upstanding. Each has his or her own set of rules and they're entirely willing to die to abide to them.

A true hero would do his best to rid this world of vapid cunts like you. He would have unwavering conviction that you don't deserve to exist, and he would be right.

Is that Hector when he goes out to war and scares his son?
Fuck I feel bad for Hector bros, he did NOTHING wrong, even through his spear right into the perfect circle of Achilles' but the gay ass literal plot armor saved him.
Achilles' fucking MISSED his throw btw
Hector chads rise up!
Also does anyone else find it problematic when that child soldier is begging Achilles to spare his life and Achilles is like "fuck no you're going to die"
Like really who is the good guy in this story? (It's Hector btw literally did nothing wrong, literally the perfect hero)

Marries and impregnates hot older queen milf.
Tries to get out of military service with a plow.
Refuses to plow his own son.
His son's name is literally "distantly made," proudly cuckold (Robert Graves, Religious).
10 years of war, finally rapes the shit out of the enemy with a horse.
10 years of wandering, only survive.
Caps attempted weak cuckolders with his son.
Bangs his wife.
10 years exile (plow themed).

Basically anyone whose entire heroic journey involves ploughing.
